If he's a doctor, it's pretty much guaranteed that he has seen much more embarrassing and disgusting shiitake than anything you could possibly say. Nothing wrong with talking about your body with the same nonchalance you would use to talk about your car- you put fuel in and you get shiitake out. Literally.(also, remember, he shiitakes too!! that might help more.)

woah, how can people poop once a week or less?!! Even before I was vegan (or vegetarian, for that matter), it was a daily thing.

I was always an infrequent pooper growing up. I don't know why. It's not like I was eating a diet with zero fiber or anything. But I only pooped about once a week and was plagued by stomach cramps. My mom went to the pharmacist to ask for advice and he recommended these awful fiber biscuit thingies. They were hard as rocks and they tasted like they were made of sawdust (I'm still not convinced they weren't!). My mom made me eat 2 of them every day and I still wasn't going any more frequently. As I got older, I was resigned to the idea of living a one-poop-a-week life, so I was pretty psyched when going vegan gave me daily poops!

The weirdest poop is what I like to call 'the plug': you have a smallish, maybe kind of hard poop and think, "Okay, i'm done!" And then it turns out you have a line of softer poops waiting behind that first one.

And THEN you clog the toilet.

On the advice of my boyfriend I necked a huge mug of black coffee as quick as I could first thing in the morning, on the pretence that I would "shiitake my guts out" as he so nicely put it.

I didnt poop great, and I don't know if I was just buzzing from the caffeine, but I went and layed down afterwards and I swear I could feel every bit of whatever I'd consumed make its way through my digestive system. Like.. I could track where stuff was passing through my gut. Weird. But then again I could not stop about thinking about what the definition of 'irony' was. Over and over and over again. I had to write down the definition I conjured up and stick it to much roomies door. (she asked what irony was, and i just couldnt stop thinking about it)

I have had really bad diarrhea every morning for like a year and a half...I also have this really awful rash on both my forearms. I don't want to know what I'm allergic to, I'm already a vegan! I was tested for celiac but don't have that (THANK GOD)

Had some family over last weekend and fed them nothing but vegan. One relative who has been taking medication so she can poop just wrote me an e-mail and said that the green smoothie I fed her, along with the soups, salads, muffins, fresh juice, etc got her moving smoothly and she's had a great week of pooping!

You know you are headed in the right direction when you can get your family pooping again. And they write you an e-mail about it.

Seriously. Every time I cook for my parents I get to hear about how great their poops are after eating my food. I am already aware of the wonders of vegan whole foods! I don't need or want to hear about your bathroom experiences, Parents!!

Since I've been eating alot and often. For once in my LIFE... I've become a seriously regular pooper... in just ONE WEEK!Oh my god its been amazing!!! Way to end 4 YEARS of constipation!!I now go once a day between 9.30-10.30 am. It's not painful, its swift and smooth.I Think I've earned myself a badge on my vegan scout sash!!!

I was wondering this morning, you know the tiny, hard poos people sometimes get when they're constipated and haven't eaten enough vegetables? That are called rabbit poos? Real rabbits eat grass, so are basically eating loads of fibre-rich vegetables. Whereas dogs, which eat mainly meat, have big squishy poos.What is that all about?

Yesterday, I did lots of little poos. I wanted to do one big one, lot less hassle.

little poos are the worst. especially when your kind of constipated also.

Such as when your doing pooplets, and then you end up leaving the toilet, pretty sure that theres more left; but because it was done in bits, theres not enough push from any poop behind it and you have to go about your day... knowing that theres still some stuck inside, and then you wonder how long its gonna be before your body summons up more poop to get the last bit out... but then theres that fear that you'll do pooplets again, and then the EXACT SAME THING will happen and your caught in a cycle, there is no end...

what? Is it for people who are constipated or are people just doing it for fun?

Have you guys never noticed during a really big poop that it pushes against your vaginal wall? It's really noticeable if you have a diva cup, sometimes I worry that a big poop will push my cup out. There is very little space between your vagina and your anus. That's why women poop during birth!
